My father was a groundskeeper at Graceland from 72-till 1979 when Vernon passed away. I remember going with him on many occasions and sometimes seeing Elvis, he was such a kind and humble person who would say hello to you and treat you with respect never thinking he was above you in any way. My father remembers the day he died and how chaotic it was that day at Graceland. To this day he still tears up remembering that day. He has many pictures of him and Elvis together on the grounds and of Elvis relaxing and enjoying his beloved Graceland.
Wow that's awesome for your Dad and when y0u visited with your Dad, Elvis was a kind, generous soul and pretty humble, he was human like we all are but I've heard soany lovely stories and people who were in his life, who dates him just like the books on Elvis and interviews etc They can say what they like about Elvis but most of what I know like all massive Elvis fans Mostly what a respectful, caring, generous to a fault even strangers,what he gave to charities and somethings he did for strangers that looked like they needed help and he would. He had some bad moods, well hell we all do eh !! At times throughout our lives. I've loved Elvis since I was a young child and my mams a fan and I loved his music and I still do at 53 and ill never stop loving him. There will never be another Elvis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Couldn't resist sprinkled a tiny bit of my mother's ashes next to his grave. I always said Elvis was her 2nd husband. She was a die hard elvis fan and we attended the 20th anniversary together. It was her dream come true.
When my grandmother was 16 her and four other girls snuck out of their houses and drove 5 hours to go to an Elvis concert my Great Grandfather forbid her to go to. He was a devout Pentecostal preacher and said that Elvis' music and hip gyrating was "of the devil." She talked about women screaming, fainting, dancing and singing and what a wonderful time that she had. I got to take her to Graceland before she passed and I had never seen her happier. Funny thing was is when she went back home she became a musician and was semi-famous. Her career was starting to take off when she found out she was pregnant with my Mom.
On August 17th, 1987 I joined a tour of Graceland with my niece. There were SO many people there, being the 10th anniversary of Elvis' death. People from all over the world. The flowers were overflowing almost to the entrance from the place where he rests. When we drove up to the admission booth, the ticket taker said, " We have a lot of Elvis impersonators here today. We call them Presleyterians". We never saw any bedrooms back then it wasn't open to the public. Glad to be one of the over 20 million.
Perhaps Jordan's best vlog ever! The little folded frog placed on Elvis' grave was a touching gesture. My wife and I saw Elvis on April 26, 1975, and he was uncanny. His voice and manner raised the hair on the back of my neck. Thanks, Jordan!!!
My mum is a huge Elvis fan we went to Graceland for her 50th birthday and I must say it was a very humbling experience and as you said you felt very much a guest as if he was there but just busy was a wonderful experience and the shuttle bus driver explained a little about upstairs to us as we were the last tour of the night
Loved your detailed video of Graceland my son took me there 5 yrs ago for my 60th bd.wouldn't tell me where we were going we went THUR a lot of state's to get there from Ga when we got there and walked in to get our tickets I cried he knew I loved Elvis since I was old enough to see him on tv but experienc it with my son his wife and my 5 yr old granddaughter meant the world to me My granddaughter had no idea who he was but she loved the tour the airplane ever thing when we left she was singing YOU AINT NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG LOL GREAT MEMORY FOR US ALL
I have been a Fan of Elvis since 1956 but only got to one concert,1973 Aloha n was lucky to get 3rd row center n could not take my eyes off of him.I was 21 n went crazy. I love your channel
Hi my name is Bonnie I'm 77 years Young and I live in salt lake City Utah this was amazing thank you, I have been in Elvis fan since I am 11 years old and I will turn 78 this coming November my dream is to go to Graceland and take this tour I am a double amputee above the knees and I am legally blind so part of this tour might be difficult for me since I have no legs but I would love to take the entire tour right now I don't have the money so until I do I have saved this video thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with me 💜 you did so beautiful I can't express the love I have for Elvis and you now for doing this for me this is a beautiful gift of love tears come to my heart and eyes you just so well and show so many key points that I have never known before and I probably would not see because my eye is so bad and I only have one someday I hope to go through those Gates and feel his spirit. I have a question did you feel his Spirit at all throughout this I did even through my phone I can still feel his Spirit the spirit is in my heart. I hope you respond I'm very curious to know the answer God bless you and your family of Bonnie from salt lake City Utah USA 💜
**LIFELONG ELVIS FAN SINCE IN MY MOM'S WOMB** Your diehard & dedicated Canadian superfan here 🇨🇦 **THANK YOU SOOO MUCH** for recording & posting all these Elvis vids. My Mom is a massive fan of his. Even belonged to a fan club. Naturally, I became one too. Because I've been involved in the Music scene for decades. As a supporter/promoter of friends & family who are all Musicians. Being in those circles. I've, unfortunately, often had to defend Elvis fiercely. As some close minded jerks make fun of him. Because they only think of what he was like near the end. Nothing boils my blood more. No other Musicians to this day. Even come close to his voice & style(with the exception of David Bowie whom is also my #1 idol). Not to mention the sheer variety of genre's he performed. On top of it, his generosity & kind soul. Is second to none. My Mom & I have never been to Graceland yet. So we fully appreciate you uploading this.
I could tell how much you loved this! It's amazing to know that he lived and breathed there and then passed away! There will never be another like him!
Elvis was truly Loved. Its nice Lisa Marie and her mother took the time to open up Graceland for everyone to see. Lisa Marie is a blessed young woman to have a father who brought such joy to so many with his wonderful music.
Know that this is a hard time Lisa and her children she has lost a lot in her life. My prayers are with her and her family as they mourn the lost of her only son I know expert but there might have been some trouble when people would say how much he looked like his grandfather maybe he just couldn't understand the attention he was receiving for his looks and he didn't feel comfortable with the attention that he did get. Hope Lisa finds some peace in her life and I hope that she takes care of herself and her other children.God be with them.
I went to Graceland back in the 90's, a lot has changed. They pulled down the hotel l stayed in. And we never went through the kitchen. It was great seeing it again. So pleased you got to see it.
Just looking at this pictures makes me feel comfortable. It makes me feel like if Elvis really didn't mind having guests, and he'd treat everyone so nice that you'd feel at home and safe. 🥹
Hi! I was born after Elvis passed away but I fell in love with his great voice. I live in Europe and never had the chance to visit this wonderful place. I was overwhelmed by lots of emotions while I watched this video. Thank you for sharing!
The first time I went to Graceland I went as media, and I got a private tour with a tour guide. They let us walk on the grass and take pictures on the front lawn where most people can't go. When we were in the Jungle Room, I was talking to our tour guide about the vacuum lines in the carpet, because I notice stuff like that. Our tour guide told us that EVERY day, after the tours stop, a cleaning crew comes in and dusts everything and vacuums again.
Jordan I took my wife there just this year. Its been my second time there and just being in the house and places where Elvis lived and played was an amazing VIBE.... Loved all of Elvis's movies but really wasn't into his music as I was in the Beatle era. With that said,, after coming from the tour my appreciation of the KING has completely changed.... he WAS an amazing man.... this is a place where you can always go back and still take it all in.....My wife and I sat on the bench under the car port just taking in the world of the King... so piecefull... people would walk by and then there would be a pause and we would be by ourselves sitting there... watching Elvis playing Football and shooting fireworks and riding go karts.... very cool..... nice job...
Graceland is so beautiful in the summer when all the trees and plants are all green. Another very beautiful time time to go is when they open up the gate at 7:30am every morning to let people walk up to the meditation garden. There’s still dew on the ground and the sun poking through the trees. You can just feel Elvis’s presence. It’s amazing!
I went to Graceland in 99 and I don't remember a lot of this, either I am getting too old OR you were able to see more than I did but thank you for doing this because it is all awesome.
LOVED all that vintage furniture and appliances. Thanks for letting us see. My parents went there back in the 80s but their photos weren't as clear. Lit. 👍
I visited Graceland Summer of 1995, I'd been there around 5 or 10 minutes, when I realized I had to pee. Lol 🤣 I asked the tour guide lady if I could use a restroom and she pointed me to a little half bathroom right underneath Elvis's sleeping quarters in the foyer across from the staircase. I was surprised they even let "visitors" use Elvis's bathroom. I felt a little honored to say the least ♥️💕
Please let all the real Presley Family R I P Riley Harper x Finley dont allow your greedy granny to be buried at GRACELAND she is not a true Presley X WIFE who broke ELVIS HEART ❤ Beryl from ENGLAND . ❤❤❤
Graceland is so beautiful you can feel Elvis there when we walked into the area where the grave's are it's almost overwhelming such a feeling my daughter said she felt to just a peace about everything it's really Amazing.
My heart is breaking for your whole family. May God comfort and wrap his loving arms around all of you. I can empathize as I lost my first husband the exact same way. It's been 28 yrs now. I can only tell you it never gets easier and there isn't a day you wont think of him. You just learn to live differently without them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sending you love and light from Canada
My Uncle Danny used to Play the Guitar to my Mom when she was little In 1977 November 12th he Fell off his bike and died just a few Months After Elvis died and my Mom was only 11 years old at that time and danny was 15 teen years old. The point is My mom is in love with Elvis, and Crys listening to Elvis for the Memories of her Brother Danny.
Such a beautiful house! I haven’t been there since 2006. I got the opportunity to go see Graceland through Make A Wish when I had cancer. I got the opportunity to see his House, the Museum, all of his cars and his Private Jet. What a King 👑
Thank you for sharing all your lovely (and quite detailed) photos of Graceland with us! I wasn't a huge fan of Elvis' music but I admired him and think he was a great musician and entertainer! If I were ever in the general area of Memphis, Tennessee, I would definitely want to visit Graceland! This is the first time I've seen such a nice compilation & assortment of photos of Graceland - inside & out!! I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and have never been any further *south* than Danvers, Mass. (mid 1970's)! I've never had the time, the money or an inclination to travel,really! I/we drove to New Hampshire,on our honeymoon,in May 1969 and it was getting a little too hot & humid for me even that early in the late Spring early Summer (lol)!! I've driven 'through' Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and 'upstate' New York on my way to Toronto, in September about 23 years ago. September & October are the best times to travel (driving) through the N.E., because all the leaves are turning their brilliant & vibrant tones of red,orange,yellow & brown...just the same as in eastern Canada! :-)
Terrific! This destination is among my ultimate places to visit, because I find it utterly fascinating. The decor alone is amazing to me, and that's just the beginning. Graceland is such a marvel of cool and extravagance and kitsch and history. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I’m from Memphis, I wouldn’t. It’s very dangerous in Memphis and Graceland is literally all there is on the brochure of Tennesse. I love Memphis it’s my home, but we moved for a reason.
Excellent tour, full of info and you took time for the little things. I was at Graceland on the 1st anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. The Memphis Police were on strike at the time. We got to write on the wall at the gates. The streets were so full of vendors and selling anything and everything Elvis.
Oh fantastic, i know a few folks from back here in the uk who have been to graceland and said its a trip of a lifetime experience, so glad you got to go and take us. ♥
Thanks Jordan. i visited there for the first time two weeks ago. I'm sure some of this has changed from four years ago. It was for my birthday. I also took the VIP TOUR. Went all by myself , but had a blast! It was surreal and sad. I was 13 when Elvis passed, but Lisa Marie was only a few years younger than me. It really got to me when she passed. Thank you for visiting
How was the area surrounding Graceland. I’ve heard it is very bad and dangerous due to crime. One person even said not to go because of how dangerous that area of Memphis has become.
I was alone and did not feel scared at all. As long as you do not venture out at night on the street walking I would say you are ok. The hotel and Graceland itself takes security and safety very seriously. @@grayghost6692
@@karolinesmail489 I went to Graceland and stood on Elvis's front porch in November of 1976 while he was still living! His uncle Vester let me and my family in through the gates that day! Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Elvis because he wasn't at home at the time but it is still something I will never forget!
I have seen a lot of vlogs of Graceland but yours is the best by far. I'm 66 years young and I thoroughly loved this one. Thank you so much for what you do.
Been to Graceland twice. It's a pretty place. I saw Graceland, planes,and the shops around there. I loved it because I loved Elvis. Thanks for putting this on.
I'm happy to see you made it to Graceland! Things have surely changed ex: the gate house where Elvis's uncle Vestor worked (was also married to Glady's Presley's sister Clettes Smith) was the original gateman and worked from a little wooden shack (not a brick gate house) Much has remained the same inside the house, the back of the house otherwise, everything else looks so different I wish you would have been able to see it back in the day also! I'm happy you had a good time
Yes! both times I went I got to visit with Uncle Vester at the gate house! He was awesome to talk to. And Rising Sun was still alive and you could see him in the front! great memories
What a beautiful job you did of showing us Graceland. We were there in the 80's and we had a lot of mixed feelings being there in his home. Hope to visit again but still hurts. Elvis will always be in our hearts.
For my husband's 50th birthday (2013) I bought us VIP passes to see this. It was different then. The racketball board building as a showplace for all of his stage costumes. There must have been 15 to 20 different jumpsuits all on life-size figures. The room you showed with the Wedding outfits had different items in it then in your video. The wedding clothing was there but so was most of his clothing, TVs, and awards including his Grammy for his Gospel album. Between Graceland, the planes, and the other buildings with cars and things, we spent 6 hours viewing all of Elvis' things.
Thank you for this tour. I would love to go there one day. Elvis has been an inspiration to my father when he was in the army back in the day. I would have love to have been able to take him there. Unfortunately he passed back in 2003. I will one day complete the journey to visit Graceland in honor of my father.
Wow! Thanks Jordan for taking us along into the realm of the King. I think everyone has good memories attached to Elvis. In fact when my Mamaw calls me her ringtone is Jailhouse Rock. She introduced me to Elvis and it's been a lifelong love.
Thank you for this video ! I've always wanted to go to Graceland. I've been in close proximity to it but my Dad didn't want to take us there. When I married I hoped to make that trip with my husband. He wasn't an Elvis fan 😵 . Shocking, I know ! Anyway now I am older and cannot travel easily. So thank you for allowing me to see it through your camera and seeing all the details of his home. Elvis was in my life from a young age. My Grandmother loved Elvis and always played his hymns on the record player. What great memories !!
Thank you very much Jordan for taking us on the tour of Graceland. I was there a few times back in 2006-2007. Because there was way too much to see. We got to go inside a huge room that had albums and records from the bottom to the ceiling!! They were amazing!! Another building we saw costumes that Elvis wore. They were awesome!! Another place we saw glass enclosures with alot of checks that Elvis had donated to many charities. Back at the beginning before the shuttle took us to Graceland, we got to go inside Elvis' airplanes. And of course his jet with Lisa Marie's name on the front side of the plane. There were diners, walk up windows to get food for eating at tables outside. And I love the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches that Elvis ate everyday. His cook made him sometimes 2 a day. I absolutely loved visiting Graceland and after a few tours we saw everything. I would love to go back one more time, because it looks somewhat different from your pictures at the entrance etc and what it looked like 16 years ago. Blessings and Love 💞 From Illinois USA 🇺🇸 January 22, 2023
Oh wow! Only Elvis could get away with these decorating themes. It’s so rich looking and sure is busy. Especially the jungle room. Can’t imagine where he found some of those pieces of furniture and all the items really. Very unique…so was Elvis..❤️
I was able to see him in concert many years ago.That was back when he was slim and wore the Jump Suits. It was one of the best concerts I had ever seen. He truly was a showman. I have a collection of all of his movies. I am 71 years old and to this day I still love his music and movies.
This was such an interesting video. I was holding back tears up until you placed the dollar bill frog for Elvis. You can tell in your voice that you loved every moment of this. I’m very glad you got to go.
Fantastic photos my friend. My father was a very big Elvis fan and had tickets to see him for the first time but, unfortunately Elvis died. I am however happy I was able to take him to Graceland before he passed and not only was it fantastic I became a giant Elvis fan that day. I cannot get enough. I now live in Las Vegas across from The Westgate, which used to be the World famous Las Vegas Hilton that Elvis performed in hundreds of times. From my living room window I can view the Elvis suite where he spent lots of time.
This one is close to my heart. I've loved Elvis since I was a little girl. My love and passion for him runs deep. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your Vlogs are always the best Jordan! One of many reasons why you are my favorite to watch. 👑🕺⚡
Thank you for sharing this video. I think all parents have lil nick names for their kids. Elvis was proud of Lisa & loved her so much. R.I.P Elvis You will never ever be forgotten & will always be loved.
That was so awesome !! When I was 18 my family n I were on our camping trip across country..heard on the radio Elvis had died!! So we took a detour to Graceland . I have a picture of me outside the gates the day after...it was so sad everyone was crying it was just starting to have people gather...
We visited Graceland in April 2016 and it was fabulous...lovely seeing it all again..we stayed in The Heartbreak Hotel across the road from Graceland which was sadly pulled down ..we cherish the memory of our visit ...thanks for sharing xx
I'm a grown man and a huge Elvis fan went to see him when i was 10 years old still have my ticket stub but i went to Graceland soon as i walked through the door for some reason i just broke out in tears .. Really miss Elvis
A dream come true for me. You did an amazing video of showing this beautiful home were a music legend lived, loved, and had great times with his family and friends.
Awesome! 3 of us family had the VIP ticket,such an awesome feeling,seeing it all.,it was On 2-14-09,and still remember alot.Elvis is a gift from God,beautiful human being,and now! a celebration eternally meeting his grandson ,and so rest of his eternal grandparents,and uncle Jesse.Elvis will always be remembered.,thank you! For Graceland ..his home...public view.
Thank you Jordan for this amazing tour. I am so glad the family kept the house with all the wear and tear made it feel as a lived in house. Very special indeed and very much appreciated Jordan
The final home and resting place of Elvis A. Presley...such a wonderful throwback to when he was alive. My dad was born about two years or so before Mr. Presley passed away, so I'm sure my dad has heard much of the music from him. Rest in Peace, Mr. Presley.
Very exciting Jordan, in my mind i never thought it would be so homely, but it really looks like a home, a lived in home at that! i bet it feels like he could just appear from round a corner, can't help but say how excited you sounded, have to say so would i, he has to be one of the most famous people in the world, deffinatly an icon, i mean who the heck doesn't know who Elvis is 😳, Thankyou loved the vlog 👑🎸🎼 xxx
One of my biggest regrets in life was that I did not go to Graceland when I visited Memphis in 93. For some reason I think it was closed. I drove down Elvis Presley Blvd and saw the gates. My ex was working in Memphis and we visited Beale Street and he proposed to me there. So Ty Jordon for the tour. We love you EP! TCB ⚡️
What a fabulous tour you gave us, better than any professional guided tour. The house is amazing and you showed so much detail.You make everything so interesting with the details and past history you tell us about. You are great at that in every video. You make people who I am not interested in so real that I have to learn more about them and do research on my own. Thanks so much for all you do. You have open my eyes to so many things I would have other wise ignored. Thank you again. P.S. loved seeing the wedding gown.
That was excellent, we visited in 1997 My husband felt a presence in the snooker room. Sadly by now his dear daughter Lisa has lost her life. Bless their hearts, best wishes from England.
This is the first vid I've seen of Graceland, wow so cool! Doubt I'll ever visit, I love Elvis. So hard to think he was just a man, but such an Icon! Looking forward to the Elvis film, sure Elvis would be surprised how much he is still loved today so many years later!
Awe , I have been planning to visit Graceland since 1985 . Great vlog Jordan . I love the attention to detail what to view as most people take for granted . 👍
This is the absolute best video of a Graceland tour on social media by far. You unknowly answered several of my questions about things there through your better shooting of this video of things. Bravo & thank you so very much for posting it. 😊💶.
Jordan ,This was absolutely one of your best videos ever. Elvis was such a cool person, and such a kind man. Jordan that was so sweet, when you put the dollar on his grave.I loved, loved, loved, this video. God bless
This was amazing! How you put it all together to show us must have been a lot of work and I appreciate it. Even though it was photos and not video, it was still fabulous because of your style of editing. Everything was just frozen in time and so interesting to look at. I like that it showed other sides to him like being a son, a husband, a father, a friend and a charitable human. I’m thrilled that you made it there and got to experience it because you deserve it.
I an a lifelong elvis fan and have been to graceland four times over the past 20 yrs and it is a must for every elvis fan and even if you’re not - being at his graveside is very emotional and moving for his fans - he is still loved and very much missed by his fans everywhere ⚡️TCB⚡️
Best tour of Graceland I’ve seen on RUclips!!! BRAVO!! Someone asked if Elvis hunted, only snakes. He hated snakes, but didn’t like to kill things. Wasn’t a fisherman either. This is from Billy Smith. The poodle wallpaper was made for Gladys, not Dodger. The bedroom has been put back to its original furnishings and decor when it was Gladys & Vernon’s room. Some of Gladys’ clothes hang in the closet, along with purses, shoes, and hats. She had poodle purses too, which were very fashionable in the 50’s. Keep up the good work!
Hi I’m from the Philippines thanks for your videos I’d really enjoyed watching one of my favorite singer actor Elvis Presley I remember when I was young I used to watch movies of Elvis with my sister not only one’s but twice so we go home late at night
FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting on this awesome vlog for two and a half years. :) And you did an outstanding job. I remember walking through the front door and just feeling Elvis' presence, and feeling lije a guest. We only had 3 people in our VIP group first thing in the morning. We went through the house twice. You could do that with the vip pass. Thanks Jordan!!!!! Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!
Yay.....You made it to Graceland !! I've been waiting on this . You did a fabulous job giving us a tour through Graceland . I have heard some people say the Jungle Room is tacky or ugly . I love it !! Thank you Jordan for taking us along !!
My family and I visited the home in Tupelo where he was born and Graceland when I was a kid a a few times. That was years ago now. It’s just how I remember it. This makes me want to go back! Great video!
Absolutely brilliant vlog. It's so fascinating. I remember when Elvis died 😪 so sad . I was only around 7 yrs old, so I didn't really know too much about him until years later when I saw his movies and concerts, although I have vague memories of watching his final concert with my parents. RIP Elvis . By the way, I've just seen Elvis the movie ( 2022). Austin Butler was incredible. Surely, he will win the Oscar for best actor !
My father was a groundskeeper at Graceland from 72-till 1979 when Vernon passed away. I remember going with him on many occasions and sometimes seeing Elvis, he was such a kind and humble person who would say hello to you and treat you with respect never thinking he was above you in any way. My father remembers the day he died and how chaotic it was that day at Graceland. To this day he still tears up remembering that day. He has many pictures of him and Elvis together on the grounds and of Elvis relaxing and enjoying his beloved Graceland.
The pistol is a 1911 a1 45 cal not a Berreta
That’s awesome Brotha !!
Wow that's awesome for your Dad and when y0u visited with your Dad, Elvis was a kind, generous soul and pretty humble, he was human like we all are but I've heard soany lovely stories and people who were in his life, who dates him just like the books on Elvis and interviews etc
They can say what they like about Elvis but most of what I know like all massive Elvis fans
Mostly what a respectful, caring, generous to a fault even strangers,what he gave to charities and somethings he did for strangers that looked like they needed help and he would.
He had some bad moods, well hell we all do eh !! At times throughout our lives.
I've loved Elvis since I was a young child and my mams a fan and I loved his music and I still do at 53 and ill never stop loving him.
There will never be another Elvis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@victoriamarie35 yes he was.

Elvis was a legendary entertainer no question.But his Star is dimming he needs to be exhumed and Buried amongst other Human Beings he is not a God..
Loved your story!
My grandpa served with Elvis in Germany. He said that Elvis wanted to be treated like any other soldier.
Mine had breakfast with elvis...
@@deneberry4463 u taking piss?
@@sarah6557 certainly yes, Try and remember elvis was the same as anyone, a human
@@deneberry4463 yes , but he was the King also.
King of what, he was a great entertainer yes.. Probably the best of that era..

I hope you respond I'm very curious to know the answer God bless you and your family of Bonnie from salt lake City Utah USA 💜
Amazing memories. Still listening to his songs... How are you Bonnie ?
**LIFELONG ELVIS FAN SINCE IN MY MOM'S WOMB** Your diehard & dedicated Canadian superfan here 🇨🇦 **THANK YOU SOOO MUCH** for recording & posting all these Elvis vids. My Mom is a massive fan of his. Even belonged to a fan club. Naturally, I became one too. Because I've been involved in the Music scene for decades. As a supporter/promoter of friends & family who are all Musicians. Being in those circles. I've, unfortunately, often had to defend Elvis fiercely. As some close minded jerks make fun of him. Because they only think of what he was like near the end. Nothing boils my blood more. No other Musicians to this day. Even come close to his voice & style(with the exception of David Bowie whom is also my #1 idol). Not to mention the sheer variety of genre's he performed. On top of it, his generosity & kind soul. Is second to none. My Mom & I have never been to Graceland yet. So we fully appreciate you uploading this.
I could tell how much you loved this! It's amazing to know that he lived and breathed there and then passed away! There will never be another like him!
But there will never be another human like. All human are unique, if they are famous or not.
Sad he died so young. There will never be another Elvis! Another great Vlog !Thanks again Jordan. It is so neat to be where he actually lived.
Elvis was truly Loved. Its nice Lisa Marie and her mother took the time to open up Graceland for everyone to see. Lisa Marie is a blessed young woman to have a father who brought such joy to so many with his wonderful music.
His 27 yr old grandson looked just like Elivs~what a sad day for Lisa Marie and Priscilla. Thank you Jordan for taking us to Graceland! TCB
So sorry we will never understand why
@@rosiemillsap2767 kip
Know that this is a hard time Lisa and her children she has lost a lot in her life. My prayers are with her and her family as they mourn the lost of her only son
I know expert but there might have been some trouble when people would say how much he looked like his grandfather maybe he just couldn't understand the attention he was receiving for his looks and he didn't feel comfortable with the attention that he did get. Hope Lisa finds some peace in her life and I hope that she takes care of herself and her other children.God be with them.
MOON DOG no it’s not it’s called depression it’s a illness
Shot himself 😭
My grandpa was great friends with elvis and he was so kind
I went to Graceland back in the 90's, a lot has changed. They pulled down the hotel l stayed in.
And we never went through the kitchen. It was great seeing it again. So pleased you got to see it.
Just looking at this pictures makes me feel comfortable. It makes me feel like if Elvis really didn't mind having guests, and he'd treat everyone so nice that you'd feel at home and safe. 🥹
Hi! I was born after Elvis passed away but I fell in love with his great voice. I live in Europe and never had the chance to visit this wonderful place. I was overwhelmed by lots of emotions while I watched this video. Thank you for sharing!
The first time I went to Graceland I went as media, and I got a private tour with a tour guide. They let us walk on the grass and take pictures on the front lawn where most people can't go. When we were in the Jungle Room, I was talking to our tour guide about the vacuum lines in the carpet, because I notice stuff like that. Our tour guide told us that EVERY day, after the tours stop, a cleaning crew comes in and dusts everything and vacuums again.
Cool
Was there 1 time. Elvis was an awesome person.
You captured the magic of Elvis's grand home perfectly! Thanks Jordan for the VIP experience!
Jordan I took my wife there just this year. Its been my second time there and just being in the house and places where Elvis lived and played was an amazing VIBE.... Loved all of Elvis's movies but really wasn't into his music as I was in the Beatle era. With that said,, after coming from the tour my appreciation of the KING has completely changed.... he WAS an amazing man.... this is a place where you can always go back and still take it all in.....My wife and I sat on the bench under the car port just taking in the world of the King... so piecefull... people would walk by and then there would be a pause and we would be by ourselves sitting there... watching Elvis playing Football and shooting fireworks and riding go karts.... very cool..... nice job...
Graceland is so beautiful in the summer when all the trees and plants are all green. Another very beautiful time time to go is when they open up the gate at 7:30am every morning to let people walk up to the meditation garden. There’s still dew on the ground and the sun poking through the trees. You can just feel Elvis’s presence. It’s amazing!
I went to Graceland in 99 and I don't remember a lot of this, either I am getting too old OR you were able to see more than I did but thank you for doing this because it is all awesome.
LOVED all that vintage furniture and appliances. Thanks for letting us see. My parents went there back in the 80s but their photos weren't as clear. Lit. 👍
Thanks for a free tour thru your Vlog i teally appreciate your kindness .
I visited Graceland Summer of 1995, I'd been there around 5 or 10 minutes, when I realized I had to pee. Lol 🤣 I asked the tour guide lady if I could use a restroom and she pointed me to a little half bathroom right underneath Elvis's sleeping quarters in the foyer across from the staircase. I was surprised they even let "visitors" use Elvis's bathroom. I felt a little honored to say the least ♥️💕
Please let all the real Presley Family R I P Riley Harper x Finley dont allow your greedy granny to be buried at GRACELAND she is not a true Presley X WIFE who broke ELVIS HEART ❤ Beryl from ENGLAND . ❤❤❤
So precious..Elvis forever⚡️
Elvis Presley is one of my favorite singer even though i wasn't born yet. I love all your documentaries soo sweet of sharing it with us.❤😍🌹
Thank-you for taking me to Graceland… grew up listening to ours beloved Elvis … taken too soon🎼🎶🎵
Graceland is so beautiful you can feel Elvis there when we walked into the area where the grave's are it's almost overwhelming such a feeling my daughter said she felt to just a peace about everything it's really Amazing.
Thank you for the tour of Graceland. It is like time has stood still with his things still there to look at.
My heart is breaking for your whole family. May God comfort and wrap his loving arms around all of you. I can empathize as I lost my first husband the exact same way. It's been 28 yrs now. I can only tell you it never gets easier and there isn't a day you wont think of him. You just learn to live differently without them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sending you love and light from Canada
My Uncle Danny used to Play the Guitar to my Mom when she was little In 1977 November 12th he Fell off his bike and died just a few Months After Elvis died and my Mom was only 11 years old at that time and danny was 15 teen years old. The point is My mom is in love with Elvis, and Crys listening to Elvis for the Memories of her Brother Danny.
Such a beautiful house! I haven’t been there since 2006. I got the opportunity to go see Graceland through Make A Wish when I had cancer. I got the opportunity to see his House, the Museum, all of his cars and his Private Jet. What a King 👑
Thank you for sharing all your lovely (and quite detailed) photos of Graceland with us!
I wasn't a huge fan of Elvis' music but I admired him and think he was a great musician and entertainer! If I were ever in the general area of Memphis, Tennessee, I would definitely want to visit Graceland! This is the first time I've seen such a nice compilation & assortment of photos of Graceland - inside & out!!
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and have never been any further *south* than Danvers, Mass. (mid 1970's)! I've never had the time, the money or an inclination to travel,really! I/we drove to New Hampshire,on our honeymoon,in May 1969 and it was getting a little too hot & humid for me even that early in the late Spring early Summer (lol)!! I've driven 'through' Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and 'upstate' New York on my way to Toronto, in September about 23 years ago. September & October are the best times to travel (driving) through the N.E., because all the leaves are turning their brilliant & vibrant tones of red,orange,yellow & brown...just the same as in eastern Canada! :-)
Terrific! This destination is among my ultimate places to visit, because I find it utterly fascinating. The decor alone is amazing to me, and that's just the beginning. Graceland is such a marvel of cool and extravagance and kitsch and history. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Just went to Graceland this summer. Took our 16 yo who loves Elvis. Ultimate VIP tickets and so totally worth it
Cool video!
Definitely putting it on the list of places to visit soon.
And to all the ones watching, have a beautiful day!
Wow his grandmother out lived everyone, except Lisa
I’m from Memphis, I wouldn’t. It’s very dangerous in Memphis and Graceland is literally all there is on the brochure of Tennesse. I love Memphis it’s my home, but we moved for a reason.
@@Treeann78 Mom 46, Dad 63 sad
Excellent tour, full of info and you took time for the little things. I was at Graceland on the 1st anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. The Memphis Police were on strike at the time. We got to write on the wall at the gates.
The streets were so full of vendors and selling anything and everything Elvis.
Oh fantastic, i know a few folks from back here in the uk who have been to graceland and said its a trip of a lifetime experience, so glad you got to go and take us. ♥
Thanks Jordan. i visited there for the first time two weeks ago. I'm sure some of this has changed from four years ago. It was for my birthday. I also took the VIP TOUR. Went all by myself , but had a blast! It was surreal and sad. I was 13 when Elvis passed, but Lisa Marie was only a few years younger than me. It really got to me when she passed. Thank you for visiting
How was the area surrounding Graceland. I’ve heard it is very bad and dangerous due to crime. One person even said not to go because of how dangerous that area of Memphis has become.
I was alone and did not feel scared at all. As long as you do not venture out at night on the street walking I would say you are ok. The hotel and Graceland itself takes security and safety very seriously. @@grayghost6692
I love this vlog. I went to Graceland about 20 years ago. It’s so cool seeing it again through you!
First time ginseng 25 went again last yr omg! Never will forget it!
@@karolinesmail489 I went to Graceland and stood on Elvis's front porch in November of 1976 while he was still living! His uncle Vester let me and my family in through the gates that day! Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Elvis because he wasn't at home at the time but it is still something I will never forget!
I have been fortunate to visit Graceland
about thirty years ago, and I would love to see it all again
Thank you for the video, really enjoyed it.
I have seen a lot of vlogs of Graceland but yours is the best by far. I'm 66 years young and I thoroughly loved this one. Thank you so much for what you do.
Been to Graceland twice. It's a pretty place. I saw Graceland, planes,and the shops around there. I loved it because I loved Elvis. Thanks for putting this on.
I'm happy to see you made it to Graceland! Things have surely changed ex: the gate house where Elvis's uncle Vestor worked (was also married to Glady's Presley's sister Clettes Smith) was the original gateman and worked from a little wooden shack (not a brick gate house) Much has remained the same inside the house, the back of the house otherwise, everything else looks so different I wish you would have been able to see it back in the day also! I'm happy you had a good time
You know a lot about Elvis Presley and his family 👏👏👏 GOOD FOR YOU, YOU JUST TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT HIM
@@labrown530 TY Leah Girl
I have a book, "A Presley Speaks", written and autographed by Uncle Vester.
Yes! both times I went I got to visit with Uncle Vester at the gate house! He was awesome to talk to. And Rising Sun was still alive and you could see him in the front! great memories
What a beautiful job you did of showing us Graceland. We were there in the 80's and we had a lot of mixed feelings being there in his home. Hope to visit again but still hurts. Elvis will always be in our hearts.
For my husband's 50th birthday (2013) I bought us VIP passes to see this. It was different then. The racketball board building as a showplace for all of his stage costumes. There must have been 15 to 20 different jumpsuits all on life-size figures. The room you showed with the Wedding outfits had different items in it then in your video. The wedding clothing was there but so was most of his clothing, TVs, and awards including his Grammy for his Gospel album. Between Graceland, the planes, and the other buildings with cars and things, we spent 6 hours viewing all of Elvis' things.
Thank you for this tour. I would love to go there one day. Elvis has been an inspiration to my father when he was in the army back in the day. I would have love to have been able to take him there. Unfortunately he passed back in 2003. I will one day complete the journey to visit Graceland in honor of my father.
Great video and thanks for the great detail in the vlog.I hope everybody watching this has a great day today!
I have always loved Elvis I was only 4 yrs old when he died .
Wow! Thanks Jordan for taking us along into the realm of the King. I think everyone has good memories attached to Elvis. In fact when my Mamaw calls me her ringtone is Jailhouse Rock. She introduced me to Elvis and it's been a lifelong love.
Thank you for this video ! I've always wanted to go to Graceland. I've been in close proximity to it but my Dad didn't want to take us there. When I married I hoped to make that trip with my husband. He wasn't an Elvis fan 😵 . Shocking, I know ! Anyway now I am older and cannot travel easily. So thank you for allowing me to see it through your camera and seeing all the details of his home. Elvis was in my life from a young age. My Grandmother loved Elvis and always played his hymns on the record player. What great memories !!
Whose watching now that LisaMarie passed? So sad. May the Presley family all rest in peace 🙏
Thank you very much Jordan for taking us on the tour of Graceland. I was there a few times back in 2006-2007. Because there was way too much to see. We got to go inside a huge room that had albums and records from the bottom to the ceiling!! They were amazing!! Another building we saw costumes that Elvis wore. They were awesome!! Another place we saw glass enclosures with alot of checks that Elvis had donated to many charities. Back at the beginning before the shuttle took us to Graceland, we got to go inside Elvis' airplanes. And of course his jet with Lisa Marie's name on the front side of the plane. There were diners, walk up windows to get food for eating at tables outside. And I love the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches that Elvis ate everyday. His cook made him sometimes 2 a day. I absolutely loved visiting Graceland and after a few tours we saw everything. I would love to go back one more time, because it looks somewhat different from your pictures at the entrance etc and what it looked like 16 years ago. Blessings and Love 💞 From Illinois USA 🇺🇸 January 22, 2023
Oh wow! Only Elvis could get away with these decorating themes. It’s so rich looking and sure is busy. Especially the jungle room. Can’t imagine where he found some of those pieces of furniture and all the items really. Very unique…so was Elvis..❤️
I was able to see him in concert many years ago.That was back when he was slim and wore the Jump Suits. It was one of the best concerts I had ever seen. He truly was a showman. I have a collection of all of his movies. I am 71 years old and to this day I still love his music and movies.
This was such an interesting video. I was holding back tears up until you placed the dollar bill frog for Elvis. You can tell in your voice that you loved every moment of this. I’m very glad you got to go.
Fantastic photos my friend. My father was a very big Elvis fan and had tickets to see him for the first time but, unfortunately Elvis died. I am however happy I was able to take him to Graceland before he passed and not only was it fantastic I became a giant Elvis fan that day. I cannot get enough. I now live in Las Vegas across from The Westgate, which used to be the World famous Las Vegas Hilton that Elvis performed in hundreds of times. From my living room window I can view the Elvis suite where he spent lots of time.
This one is close to my heart. I've loved Elvis since I was a little girl. My love and passion for him runs deep. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your Vlogs are always the best Jordan! One of many reasons why you are my favorite to watch.
👑🕺⚡
Thank you for sharing this video. I think all parents have lil nick names for their kids. Elvis was proud of Lisa & loved her so much. R.I.P Elvis You will never ever be forgotten & will always be loved.
That was so awesome !! When I was 18 my family n I were on our camping trip across country..heard on the radio Elvis had died!! So we took a detour to Graceland . I have a picture of me outside the gates the day after...it was so sad everyone was crying it was just starting to have people gather...
We visited Graceland in April 2016 and it was fabulous...lovely seeing it all again..we stayed in The Heartbreak Hotel across the road from Graceland which was sadly pulled down ..we cherish the memory of our visit ...thanks for sharing xx
LOVE, LOVE THIS VIDEO! I still remember where I was when I found out Elvis died. I still watch his movies. Thanks, Jordan!
Thanks for taking me back to Graceland, I love Elvis !
OMG! Jordan YOU ARE THE KING OF VLOGS! Awesome tour. Thank you!
I'm a grown man and a huge Elvis fan went to see him when i was 10 years old still have my ticket stub but i went to Graceland soon as i walked through the door for some reason i just broke out in tears .. Really miss Elvis
I loved this. I was there before. Can you imagine all the precious memories at Graceland? Thank you, Jordan. Amazing. Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤❤🦁
Thank you for showing us inside the Graceland its so beautiful.atleast now i see the holy Graceland.Godbless all the Presley Family
A dream come true for me. You did an amazing video of showing this beautiful home were a music legend lived, loved, and had great times with his family and friends.
Awesome! 3 of us family had the VIP ticket,such an awesome feeling,seeing it all.,it was On 2-14-09,and still remember alot.Elvis is a gift from God,beautiful human being,and now! a celebration eternally meeting his grandson ,and so rest of his eternal grandparents,and uncle Jesse.Elvis will always be remembered.,thank you! For Graceland ..his home...public view.
So much history and memories in one place. I can tell it touched you also. Thank you Jordan.
to be honest Elvis game room and the rest of the place is absolutely beautiful i mean wow
Thank you Jordan for this amazing tour. I am so glad the family kept the house with all the wear and tear made it feel as a lived in house. Very special indeed and very much appreciated Jordan
The final home and resting place of Elvis A. Presley...such a wonderful throwback to when he was alive. My dad was born about two years or so before Mr. Presley passed away, so I'm sure my dad has heard much of the music from him. Rest in Peace, Mr. Presley.
Very exciting Jordan, in my mind i never thought it would be so homely, but it really looks like a home, a lived in home at that! i bet it feels like he could just appear from round a corner, can't help but say how excited you sounded, have to say so would i, he has to be one of the most famous people in the world, deffinatly an icon, i mean who the heck doesn't know who Elvis is 😳, Thankyou loved the vlog 👑🎸🎼 xxx
One of my biggest regrets in life was that I did not go to Graceland when I visited Memphis in 93. For some reason I think it was closed. I drove down Elvis Presley Blvd and saw the gates. My ex was working in Memphis and we visited Beale Street and he proposed to me there. So Ty Jordon for the tour.
We love you EP!
TCB ⚡️
What a fabulous tour you gave us, better than any professional guided tour. The house is amazing and you showed so much detail.You make everything so interesting with the details and past history you tell us about. You are great at that in every video. You make people who I am not interested in so real that I have to learn more about them and do research on my own. Thanks so much for all you do. You have open my eyes to so many things I would have other wise ignored. Thank you again. P.S. loved seeing the wedding gown.
That was a great tour, more interesting than a guided tour. Thank you,it was great..
That was excellent, we visited in 1997
My husband felt a presence in the snooker room.
Sadly by now his dear daughter Lisa has lost her life.
Bless their hearts, best wishes from England.
I toured Graceland in 2006 and I learned some things from this video. You did a really great job. Thank you.
This is the first vid I've seen of Graceland, wow so cool! Doubt I'll ever visit, I love Elvis. So hard to think he was just a man, but such an Icon! Looking forward to the Elvis film, sure Elvis would be surprised how much he is still loved today so many years later!
Awe , I have been planning to visit Graceland since 1985 . Great vlog Jordan . I love the attention to detail what to view as most people take for granted . 👍
This is the absolute best video of a Graceland tour on social media by far. You unknowly answered several of my questions about things there through your better shooting of this video of things. Bravo & thank you so very much for posting it. 😊💶.
Jordan ,This was absolutely one of your best videos ever. Elvis was such a cool person, and such a kind man. Jordan that was so sweet, when you put the dollar on his grave.I loved, loved, loved, this video. God bless
I’ve been here with my favorite my grandmother is a huge Elvis lover she was in heaven when she saw his house
This was amazing! How you put it all together to show us must have been a lot of work and I appreciate it. Even though it was photos and not video, it was still fabulous because of your style of editing. Everything was just frozen in time and so interesting to look at. I like that it showed other sides to him like being a son, a husband, a father, a friend and a charitable human. I’m thrilled that you made it there and got to experience it because you deserve it.
totally agree. Its hard making photos entertaining.
Ip
Perfectly stated
We went to Graceland in 1996, and then no flash photography was allowed, so I didn't get any pictures.
I an a lifelong elvis fan and have been to graceland four times over the past 20 yrs and it is a must for every elvis fan and even if you’re not - being at his graveside is very emotional and moving for his fans - he is still loved and very much missed by his fans everywhere ⚡️TCB⚡️
What an awesome tour. Thank you for being so upbeat and happy. It makes watching it more enjoyable and interesting. 😊
I love that they turned the racquetball display back into the actual court. When I went in 2011, they displayed all the jumpsuits in there.
Best tour of Graceland I’ve seen on RUclips!!! BRAVO!! Someone asked if Elvis hunted, only snakes. He hated snakes, but didn’t like to kill things. Wasn’t a fisherman either. This is from Billy Smith. The poodle wallpaper was made for Gladys, not Dodger. The bedroom has been put back to its original furnishings and decor when it was Gladys & Vernon’s room. Some of Gladys’ clothes hang in the closet, along with purses, shoes, and hats. She had poodle purses too, which were very fashionable in the 50’s. Keep up the good work!
Hi I’m from the Philippines thanks for your videos I’d really enjoyed watching one of my favorite singer actor Elvis Presley I remember when I was young I used to watch movies of Elvis with my sister not only one’s but twice so we go home late at night
FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting on this awesome vlog for two and a half years. :) And you did an outstanding job. I remember walking through the front door and just feeling Elvis' presence, and feeling lije a guest. We only had 3 people in our VIP group first thing in the morning. We went through the house twice. You could do that with the vip pass. Thanks Jordan!!!!! Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!
I would give any thing to see Graceland,Elvis means so much to me
Yay.....You made it to Graceland !! I've been waiting on this . You did a fabulous job giving us a tour through Graceland . I have heard some people say the Jungle Room is tacky or ugly . I love it !! Thank you Jordan for taking us along !!
My family and I visited the home in Tupelo where he was born and Graceland when I was a kid a a few times. That was years ago now. It’s just how I remember it. This makes me want to go back! Great video!
Absolutely brilliant vlog. It's so fascinating. I remember when Elvis died 😪 so sad . I was only around 7 yrs old, so I didn't really know too much about him until years later when I saw his movies and concerts, although I have vague memories of watching his final concert with my parents. RIP Elvis . By the way, I've just seen Elvis the movie ( 2022). Austin Butler was incredible. Surely, he will win the Oscar for best actor !
Graceland tour better now than years ago. Much more to see and the NEW hotel is amazing!
